The ruling on one who dies holding the belief that Allah is everywhere, while maintaining his prayers and other obligatory acts
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: A person died holding the belief that Allah is everywhere, and he was, in himself, careful to maintain his prayers and the other obligatory acts. Is it said that he is among the people of Paradise or among the people of the Fire?
Answer:
His case is left to Allah, but he relied on ta'wil (figurative interpretation), taqlid (following a scholar without knowing his evidence), and matters he thought were correct. However, if he did it intentionally, then he is a disbeliever. But perhaps he did not do it intentionally; rather, he thought that those before him and those who preceded him were on the right path and were scholars, and he also interpreted the verses, or thought that this interpretation was correct. Allah knows best. This is the affair of Allah the Mighty and Majestic.
